try nail polish remove (acetone) next time

Could be a hose management problem - the hose pulls on your mask when you are on your right side and causes leaks.

Every CPAP user has to develop techniques for hose management.

Did you see the news recently? They were caught in the US (I don't remember anything more about the report - not high on my list of priorities!).

I tried acetone... might as well have been pudding! It wasn't just reg. S glue, but made for polycarbonate (spent a lot on it to use as fix for fiddly tiny mask parts - it lives in the fridge). Oh, btw, where did you read that RCMP thing? There's no such thing as NE provinces... there are eastern, central and western ones, but north is... the great white Yukon, Nunavut (a gigantic swath of winter territory belonging mostly to Inuit pop, Hudsons Bay which is not a province, etc. But I guess to someone in TX, everything is north .

I know it sometimes happens to me, I believe I just adjust the nose hanger and that fixes it.

welllll, I was just trying to be vague, didn't want to give away too much information on where you and your fingerprintlessness were conducting your crime spree
